I’ll be watching this thread with interest. S2 is looking at a small LAC that offers both his sports, either or both of which he would be happy to play as a walk-on. The possibility of some athletic scholarship money exists down the road, but it’s shaping up to be doable financially without it. H and I really like this school for our son more then the regional state U he’s also interested in. The classes are smaller and he’ll get more individual attention, and playing a sport will help him stay focused. Regional state U is a fine school (S1 goes there) but half of S2’s HS will also be there, and since he’s no great shakes academically to begin with, he doesn’t need any more distractions.
